Bearings Bike Works

Bearings Bike Shop is a non-profit youth development organization in southwest Atlanta where kids can earn a bike of their own while developing the skills necessary to successfully transition into adulthood and the workforce. Our mission is to put the right tools in the hands of youth, enabling them to advance their skills to build productive lives. Our vision is to see those that we serve take ownership of their lives with character and purpose and experience the freedom of economic mobility. We operate three unique skills development programs that help students ages 6-18 develop hard skills, soft skills, and character strengths that can make a difference in future career success. Our retail bike shop not only serves the community through bike repair services and the sale of refurbished bicycles but also serves as a youth workforce development training space for teens and young adults from Bearings' other programs.
